ParseStmtAsm.cpp was missing, fix that as well.

Don't you want to produce an error if -pic-level is not 1 or 2?

Update to use the Module PIC Level API.

We use llvm_unreachble instead of assert(0).

Use llvm_unreachable() instead of assert(0).

LGTM with a nit.

You can fold the variable declaration into the if:

if (uint32_t PLevel = Context.getLangOpts().PICLevel) {

It's too easy for the user to try to do something like clang -cc1 -pic-level 3 t.c and crash the compiler with assert or llvm_unreachable. We should either clamp the level to [0-2] or issue a diagnostic in lib/Frontend/CompilerInvocation.cpp.

Thanks for the review, Rafael!

That may be legal C++, but it makes me really uncomfortable, and makes it (trivially, I guess) less readable, I think.

I don't think -cc1 options are considered user visible. Having another
value in here means a bug somewhere else in clang.
